DISPOSAL OF OUR FRUIT.

The San Francisco Bulletin reviews the
history Of the fruit sales to and including
the entry of the fruit-growers upon the auc-
tion sales system at the East, and con-
cludes that the auction scheme has proved
its virtue. II adds:
The reports of Eastern commission merchants
nave ceased to attract any attention. Ii is no
longer q matter of much interest as to what
prices were paid in Chicago. or what the fruit
commission merchants there think of the mar
ket. The change which has been brought
about ia an important one. The fruit is sold at
once. The sales at auction release the Califor-
MIA shipper from the Eastern commission mer-
chant, II LIE desire to operate independently OF
him.
To have been accurate, and have made
It's sketch complete, our contemporary
should have stated that the idea of break
ing away from the old system for the New
York, Boston and Philadelphia markets
and taking up the auction plan, originated
with a Sacramento citizen after persona
investigation at the East. The success
that has attended the experiment warrants
the belief that, for the market named, the
right method of disposing of our fruits
has been at last hit upon New York is a
great distributing center, and the old
method of rapidly placing arriving fruit Is
unsuited to that market. There is need
ioE instant sale upon arrival, for the imme-
diate bringing of sellers aud seekers To-
gether, and for open competition among
the latter for the possession Of the fruits.
For this purpose the commission inter.
mediary was too slow in his methods, nor
could he reach the buyers so directly
as is done where they assemble and bid for
the right TO choose from among shipments.
There mss as yet been nothing to warrant
the fears entertained by some that we
may overstock the New York market.
On the contrary, the best judgment is that
under auction such an event cannot
come TO pass. PROFESSIONALLY the expert
ment has demonstrated one thing, that
California fruits are not grown too distant
from the national metropolis to make that

a great distributor of them. And still an
other, that the new system is the speediest
way and the most certain method of aid
ing the disposal and distribution for the
interests of grower, buyer and consumer.
As the Bulletin says:
Three or four years ago the amount Of green
fruit that was sent TO New York was mere
bagatelle. II was given out that the market
the great distributing point. One OF the pio-
neers in the business of shipping fruits TO East
ern markets declared, three years ago. that the
business would never be put upon sasisfac.
depot for California green fruits. His judgment
has been indicated by the fact that New York
has become the central point, and that the re
ports of auction sales. the rapid way in which

While on the subject of adjoining the
female human face it may be well to note
that self-study of woman's countenance is
highly commended. 1t is now declared
that women should make a practice of
smiling, talking ard eating before their
mirrors, the object being to detect and cor
rect grimaces, with which most of our kind
are at times afflicted. The actress studies
every physical phase of her part with the
aid OF her mirror, and why should not women
who do not act ION the stage) avail them
selves of the same means of Improvement /?
We are told that an agreeable smile, with
out obvious afiectation. and graceful car
riage are mostly results of training. If
practiced intelligently is, before
ones mirror-and assiduously, they finally
become easy through force of habit En-
gaging manners are certainly worth all
the pains that one can expend in their
cultivation. If some of us could see our
selves as others see us when we are at the
essential gross business of eating, we might
be tempted to line our dining-room with
mirrors. On second thought, this is not a
bad idea on general principles.-Dctroit

The First Regiment of Artillery OF the

has received an offer such as is seldom ex-
tended TO militia Colonel Shafter. in

lars at Santa Cruz, invites the guardsmen
to come and camp with Uncle Sans men
that IS in--the plat of ground, which is
large enough for both commands, and is far
more eligibly and healthfully located than
the beach camp proposed. If the Artillery
Regiment does not accept the generous
offer it will commit grave mistake. The
opportunity of guardsmen to be aided in
instruction in camp by West Point officers
! and regular troops does not come often.

perior to all false pride, if they really de-
sire to learn. A week with the regulars

enjoyable in every way, and serve socially

MR., CLEVELAND REBUKED BY RE
FORMERS

Mr.. George ". Curtis, President of the
National Civil Service Reform League,
has been forced to the conclusion that the
Cleveland administration is not sincere in
Its civil service reform protestations. What
is more, the League has unanimously
adopted Mr.. Curtis view. This will be
very apt TO land the few remaining party
friends who are afflicted with Mugwump-
ism safely back into the Republican fold.
From the hour he approved the meaning
less and wordy plank on the civil service.
IN the Democratic platform, to the present,
Mr.. Cleveland has demonstrated by word
and act that the reform, so far as he is
concerned, is to be applied only within his
party lines. He has cut the heart out of
the system, so far as the administration
can do it. Not only has the spirit of the
law been ignored in the matter of COM
petitive appointments, but the letter of it
has been contemptlously treated, and
spoilsmen worked into Federal positions
of trust within the operation of the law,
on the merest fimsy pretence of conform
aimee with the statute
